Description
Sweet potatoes are relatively easy to grow and thrive in warm climates. theyre great to use as a ground cover as well! Here are the key growing conditions:
1. Climate: Sweet potatoes prefer warm weather and need at least 100 to 150 frost-free days to mature. They grow best in USDA hardiness zones 9-11 but can also be grown as annuals in cooler climates.
2. Temperature: Plant sweet potatoes when the soil temperature reaches around 60°F (16°C) for optimal germination. They prefer daytime temperatures between 70-90°F (21-32°C) and nighttime temperatures above 60°F (16°C).
3. Soil: Plant sweet potatoes in well-draining, sandy loam soil with a pH between 5.8 and 6.2. Loose, well-aerated soil promotes healthy root development.
4. Sunlight: Sweet potatoes require full sun, so choose a location with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day
